CARLO Ancelotti insists Barcelona can be beaten if the Blues run into the Spanish side in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea should be able to close out their second round tie against FC Copenhagen tomorrow – given their 2-0 lead from the first leg – but Friday's draw for the next rounds could see the Italian's side pitched into a tie against the team everyone wants to avoid.

"At the moment, Barcelona is the best team in Europe, but in the Champions League, you can use your strength and power and every team has different skills and ability," Ancelotti said.

"The performances of Barcelona in this moment are fantastic but every game has a different story.

"If we have to play against Barcelona, and I hope to be in the draw first, then we have to try and find a solution to beat them."
